Does it say, "Moshi Moshi!" ?
(I had trouble ringing Tokyo when I started work
as that phrase used to crack me up for some reason!

exp. - Commonly used to answer the telephone in Japan, this expression has no real meaning, with the cloests translation of the term being "hello?" when receiving a phone call. The term itself stems from a Japanese myth of the shape-shifting fox. The fox is a creature of supernatural power and mystery in Japanese tradition. They are said to change their form to that of a woman many times in order to seduce men for benevolent or malicious intent. The term "Moshi, moshi!" has no intrinsic meaning. It is a phrase supposedly foxes cannot pronounce. Therefore, if you say this over the phone and receive a reply the person you are talking with is not a fox in disguise.
ex. - *picking up phone* Hai, moshi moshi?
Is this true BF?
